Feeling Supernatural/Weird Things?

August 29, 2010 4:30pm CST
I've known for a while that I'm an Empath (Empathetic to others/supernatural feelings) but do any of you guys experience anything that's out of the ordinary and makes you feel like you're different to everyone else? When I was around 13 years old somebody hit my friend in the back very hard, and suddenly I felt a sharp pain in my back like someone had hit me. It was weird, and when I told my friend she looked at me like I was some sort of freak. So I am overly sensitive to other people's feelings if they're close to me; but I also found out that when I thought of or heard of anything that inflicted pain I'd feel that pain, which kind of helped when I went through a bad phase of depression after my uncle died. But do you guys experience anything like this? You could possibly be sensitive to the voices of ghosts or see the supernatural, or like my younger sister see the aura's of people? (I can do this too but it's hard for me unless I really concentrate) I know of a few who can do this, one including my mother, who explained al of this to me when I asked her after my first experience.

Many times i have seen shadowy figures wander in the corners of my vision, it is hard to explain but the sort of move in all sorts of directions unlike the movements of a human. i belive that they a possibly spirts of some sort because i see thuis very often and only at night.

My sister used to see ghosts so it could be ghosts maybe? They may find that the night time is the only way to contact you possibly? But I have never seen ghosts though I have felt the presence a few times because a ghost kept making my toe bleed at a certain part of my sisters house

well i haven't really felt anything supernatural... it's just that i'm not a physical empath but i do have empathic abilities. I wouldn't want to see ghosts and stuff as i don't think i'm capable to help them so i don't usually want to deal with them. I asked God not to let me see them or anything because i do not want to be involved in such. I don't think it is my role at all. Although i have experienced some dreams where there are ghosts and i've always tried to help them in my dream or do something positive at least or sometimes i don't really do much i think? i forgot, haha.

Unfortunately the road you walk is a hard one. My personal experience is that as an empath it's easy to lose your individuality, most of the time becoming a reflection of others emotions and motives. It's very important to stay away from negative influences, which is why you often have shadows lurking around you. An empath is extremely powerful, which is why people/spirits want to be around you, and why crowded places are so hard. Everyone without knowing it, recieves your energy, you magnify them. Regardless of their intent, good or bad. All my life I've heard "Your wierd, but in a good way". Sadly enough that is the truth. But what is most important, is to figure out what you are about, and guard it. The most important advice I can give is be careful, you are more powerful than you know. Although you may feel small both good and bad spirits protect you, because both sides want you to be near you. Just be careful who you let in, both in the physical world and spiritual.
